Default Unable to receive mail

Hi all

I am getting the following error when I try to receive mail in OE (IE6):

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'Hugh', Server: 'mail.mysite.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR Bad login', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

The username and password are definitely correct as are the POP3 and SMTP
server addresses. This is really infuriating as I have checked and
double-checked all login info both on my machine and the server.

What other explanation can there be for this failure to receive? I can't
think of one!!

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity
(FileIdentitiesAdd new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages
from the old Identity before deleting it (FileIdentitiesManage
Identities).

Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

Disable Background Compacting and frequently perform a manual compact of all
OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
